Recent progress in our understanding of black hole evaporation
has mostly occurred in the context of black holes coupled to an
external, non-gravitating bath. In order to compare and contrast to what
happens to black holes in asymptotically flat space it is imperative to
understand whether the non-gravitating bath is just some external
spectator or actively changes the physics in this system. Equivalently,
one can wonder to what extent the results generalize to the case of a
gravitating bath. We use Randall-Sundrum braneworlds, and their
holographic interpretation, to answer this important question.
